Kansas farmers plant record corn and soybean acres in spring
Kansas growers put in 4.1 million acres of corn up from 3.9 million last year while soybean acreage rises to an estimated 3.2 million. Sorghum is about normal at 2.85 million. The June estimates come as winter wheat harvest progresses across Kansas, with 36 percent harvested and ripening benefits offset by delays from a cool spring and late rains. Harvest shares vary by region, from 63 percent in drought‑hit southwest to 43 percent in southeast.
